Friggen Bike Rack

[Viet Nam Vette]

I need a an "L" -Cheapo Bike Rack. I did a search and got some posts from 2006 and early 2007. Those racks looked like they were Boo-Coo Bucks..!!

Anyone recommend a Cheap Rack that will fold down and lower the bike and most Importantly Let You Open The Cargo Door with a 33" spare on the door? My rig has the Off road option and a Factory 2" Receiver

I just need to get from Point A to Point B and hang my crappy 10 year old Sears Roebuck 12 speed on the rack. I am not a big time rider. Just need to work out a little and lose a few pounds.

Gotta go 9 miles to get to the Boardwalk and the Chickies....

I don't think there are any "cheap" folding reciever mount bike racks.

For your short haul to the beach a spare tire mounted bike rack would probably work.

You might be able to modify the mount for this gas can to accept a bike rack?

Heres a great option, $159:

but you may need the extension to clear the width of the tire:
go to the spare parts breakdown and look at part #B, they have an optional one thats longer but I don't see it on the site

Hey thanks tnd2 for the reply.... I've seen those as I was surfing around the web before I bought the Walmart job. See my post above to Destert Dan. So..I think I will Hack up that rack and modify it to make it work.

Thanks...

Cheapest would be just throw it in the back

buy a cheap hitch basket then order the brackets or make your own. for the bikes... I bought mine from cabelas (http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templates/links/link.jsp?id=0013473510248a&type=product&cmCat=SEAR CH&returnPage=search-results1.jsp&QueryText=bike+rack&N=4887&Ntk=Produc ts&Ntx=mode+matchall&Nty=1&Ntt=bike+rack&noImage=0 )

Then you just don't have a scrap of metal sitting around in the winter also if you go to the beach it's really handy to put your sandy boogie boards on instead of in your truck...

Thanks D-Dan..There are spare tire rack mounts also that I have seen that bolt right to the spare tire like the one tnd2 linked me to in the post below yours..

The only hassle is that I run a Soft Fabric Tire Cover to protect the Spare from UV damage. It would be a real pain removing it and installing the rack on the spare each time.

I bought this Bike Rack from Walmart for $84.00 in the store..before I posted here. The problem is that when you remove the vertical arm from the receiver stalk ...the stalk is about 1 1/2 " to high and interferes with the tire and door opening.

My solution I think is to cut that 1 1/2" off and re-drill a new bolt hole so it will clear the tire. I thought I'd post here first in case there was someting better out there before I cut it and couldn't return i t.

Thanks for your help and input.
